Paper Abstract
In high power laser system, laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) in optical coating is very important for obtaining
high performances. The dependence of LIDT on the pulse duration and the repetition rate are well known phenomena.
But recently, LIDT was found to have strong temperature dependences in the bulk, surface of substrates, and in coatings.
This temperature dependence of LIDT was carefully measured, and the damage formation model was constructed
regarding to this temperature dependence. This paper introduces LFEX laser system for First Ignition scheme in the
laser fusion. A large-scale pulse compression chamber was designed and constructed, and segmented grating system has
been employed for large-scale pulse compressor. This compressor provided good pulse compression performances, but
we observed a heavy oil-contamination of optics in this chamber. We have analyzed contaminants and evaluated the
effects of the contamination. We also developed new cleaning methods to remove contamination from the coating, and
the quantitative analysis of contamination on LIDT was made. We have investigated the characteristics of LIDT in
dielectric coatings under the controlled contamination. LIDT of coating drops to 1/2 in the saturated toluene vapor at
room temperature.
